Green Smoothie Gurus
1: Victoria Boutenko/ Raw Family
Victoria Boutenko moved to the USA with her family in 1990. They were all very ill and after adopting a 100% raw food diet, most of their health problems were eliminated. Victoria’s son Sergei Boutenko was healed from diabetes and she explained how all 8 of his fillings popped out and enamel grew back to fill the holes. 4 years later Victoria realised they weren’t getting enough greens in their diet and they adopted the green smoothie. Victoria Boutenko is the author of several books including ‘Green For Life’ in which she promoted the green smoothie which is one of the reasons the green smoothie is as popular as it is today. She also wrote the green smoothie revolution. She perfected the recipe for a sweet tasting green smoothie with the correct ratio of fruit to greens (60:40). Victoria is currently travelling the world teaching people about health and introducing them to green smoothies. She and her family also run raw food retreats. Visit The Raw Food Family website.

2: Ann Wigmore
The late Ann Wigmore co-founded the Hippocrates Health Institute. She was a believer of wheatgrass juice and living foods to heal and detox the body. Ann believed there are two types of disease, deficiency and toxemia. Deficiency is caused by eating or even overeating foods which have no or little nutritional value such as junk foods. Toxemia describes toxins stored in the body accumulated through processed foods and chemicals on our foods. Living foods are raw foods in their unprocessed natural state or foods which are prepared to be more easily digested.
Ann created the energy soup which is a blend of greens and other healthy ingredients, otherwise known as the green smoothie. But she did put sprouts and other savoury food in it too. She also invented rejuvelac which is a fermented drink.
Ann believed in blending everything she ate as it freed her body from all the energy required to digest food that she only needed 2 hours sleep when she was in her 80s. Ann believed in running everywhere even in the last couple of years before she died.
Ann documented how her hair turned from grey back to dark again after following her living foods diet. The Hippocates Health Institute is still running and can be visited here. Her healing diet can be followed in her popular book.
3: Green Smoothie Girl (aka Robyn Openshaw)
Robyn Openshaw, Green Smoothie Girl was raised on a very simple vegetarian diet and had enjoyed good health until she started eating a Standard American Diet (SAD) when she had her four children. All four children developed a lot of health problems including severe asthma. She was told by doctors that diet couldn’t cure asthma but after changing their diets to healthy ones they were cured of asthma and other health problems.
She had also watched two of her family members with cancer experiencing very different outcomes. Her young uncle relied on traditional methods and died of complications but her grandma managed to heal herself with a raw food diet.

Hi Katherine,I just wanted to tell you I completed the 7 day detox and I feel so great.
I have lost 6lbs, do not feel like I need more my morning coffee, the flushing of my facial skin from rosacea has dramatically reduced and I am so excited to wake up each morning and make a green thickie for breakfast!!
I am a stay at-home, homeschooling momma of 3 littles and at times so busy I would forget to feed myself!
I would go most of the day without eating and then snack on random things.
I gained 60 pounds the last 6 years during pregnancy.
I have lost 30lbs but recently plateaued and have felt so frustrated.
I’ve tried everything from paleo and keto to the point where I didn’t know what to eat or how much and felt like even eating fruit was bad for me which thankfully it’s not!
What a game changer for me. Thank you for sharing a simple but effective program.
I’m so excited to continue another week with this plan! Thankful Stephanie
